The several plots that make up The Merchant of Venice are: the Portia-Bassanio love story, or the casket-choice plot; the Antonio-Shylock, or the flesh-bond, plot; the Jessica-Lorenzo elopement; and the ring plot. ... For example, the first two scenes of The Merchant of Venice display important parallels.
Answer:
I found the part of the trail where portia changed the perception for the people to see the case of Antonio was very humorous . Portia reffered to the shylock's agreement in which the pound of flesh was expressly stated , blood is not mentioned . So , portia insisted that since the agreement not mentioned the blood shylock have to cut a pound of flesh without dropping a single drop of blood . This is how portia used shylock term to save the life of Antonio. And in a humorous way portia expressed the case before the duke.
